- Hello, learners!
This video will help you understand what a reduced adverb clause is, and how to reduce an adverb clause to an adverbial/adverb phrase.
What is a reduced adverb clause?
A reduced adverb clause is a more precise and accurate form of an adverb clause. It is formed out of an adverb clause by removing some parts that are extra or unnecessary. We can reduce an adverb clause to an adverb phrase only when the subject of both the main clause and the adverb clause are the same.
Examples of reduced adverb clauses:
While I was going to work, I saw something unusual. (Adverb clause)
While going to work, I saw something unusual. (Reduced adverb clause)
After I finish the work, I’ll join you guys. (Adverb clause)
After finishing the work, I’ll join you guys. (Reduced adverb clause)
We are definitely going to start our business after we leave this job. (Adverb clause)
We are definitely going to start our business after leaving this job. (Reduced adverb clause)
Since I was taking my class, I couldn’t pick up your phone. (Adverb clause)
Taking my class, I couldn’t pick up your phone. (Reduced adverb clause)
or
Because of taking my class, I couldn’t pick up your phone. (Reduced adverb clause)
Though he was super busy, he came out to see me. (Adverb clause)
Though being super busy, he came out to see me. (Reduced adverb clause)
Because I’m the head trainer, I have to take responsibilities for all the complaints. (Adverb clause)
Being the head trainer, I have to take responsibilities for all the complaints. (Reduced adverb clause)

your classes are helping me very lot sir
Glad they are. Keep learning! ❤️

That was difficult but i am trying to understand it by watching and practicing it more. I have a request which is I have seen preposition being used as reduced clauses. Will you please make a video on that too
Could you show me an example of what you're saying?
Sir u explain very clearly.
Thanks!
Your teaching is so valuable
Glad you think so. Keep learning and stay connected! ❤️
You are a great teacher!
Thank you for the kind words! 🌸
Thanks 🌷
You're welcome ❤️
May God bless 🙌 🙏 ✨
You too! 🌸
Great, sir!
Glad you liked it!
'Even though + Gerund/ Present participle ' is not a good construction.
I agree. But possible.
@@EnglishWithAshish Grammatically okay. But the English natives will certainly a give a stare to whoever utters this constrution.
Agreed. We are just talking about possibilities here.
I was waiting for this video. Thanks a lot.
My pleasure! Hope you liked it!
Rosy originally wanted to be doctor ,but after finishing university.she decided to be a doctor.
"But after finishing university" is reduced adverb clause?
My question are the followings one : can we use reduced adverb clause with co-ordinating conjunction?
Second: usually we use comma after reduced adverb clause, but it is not used in this sentence and please notice if we use it ,it looks like non essential information such as: ,but after finishing university,
Sir, did you get my comment or it disappeard?
By keeping the conjunction, would it not be a superfluous use of words?
No, as there's nothing else that does its job. Can we omit it in some cases? Absolutely!
Thanks for such an amazing video it helped me a lot ☺️
Glad it helped! Keep learning and stay connected! 😊
Brilliant as always, Ashish! Just one point I'd like some clarification on. In the sentence "He sliced his fingers while he was chopping vegetables.", is it correct to reduce it to "He sliced his fingers while chopping vegetables" without placing the phrase "while chopping vegetables" at the beginning of the sentence like you did? And is it the same with the sentence "I started training after being challenged by Ron."?
Yes, you can do that. Reducing a clause to a phrase doesn't change its meaning.
Thank you for the kind words! 🌸
thank u so much ashish ! I have seen in a grammar book that: we can remove the time conjuncions as well. For example: 1.While she was driving to paris, my best friend had an accident.--- Driving to Paris, my best friends had an accident. 2. After she reloaded the program into her computer, she realized that the screen was gone.--- Having reloaded he program into her computer, she realized that the screen was gone.
I am confused. I don't know which one is true. What do you think about it ?🙂
Yes, the meaning of the conjunction is understood in some contexts.
very good video thank you so much
Thank you, Majed! 😊
Another lesson I mastered 😀.
Sir ,i have a request make a video on inferential cleft & if beacuse cleft.
Second : when we use "it" as dummy Or antcipatory subject we only use singular verb?
It is people ?
Thanks and noted! And yes, it should be followed by a singular verb
She didn't join the party as she was I'll = she being I'll didn't join the party
is it right sir ? can I always put the adverbial phrase after subject ?
Correction:
She, being I'll, didn't join the party.
Or
Being ill, she didn't join the party.
You need a use comma if an adverbial phrase is coming after the subject.
Sir Have a look at the sentence.Since I am hungry, I need to have some food. By reducing subordinate clause we find Being hungry, I need to have some food.Sir here Being hungry is a participle phrase which is also known as adjective phrase.Sir let me clear how an adverb clause reduce into participle phrase.Sir🙏 please let me clear it.
There's a seperate lesson on that, my friend. Still, I'll try giving you an example here.
• She didn't join the party as she was unwell.
Notice that "as she was unwell" is an adverb clause, modifying the main verb.
Reduction: Being unwell, she didn't join the party. (Here too, it has changed into a present participle phrase, but it's modifying the main verb more than it's modifying the subject SHE)
2. earned huge profits,company threw a party
3.being on the bus ,we saw a man walking on the water.
4.even after being a best player in the team,you can still get better.
5.before getting thrown out of the house,you should buy a house.
6. after getting a job,i will pay the rent.
i dont know answer of 1st one
Hello sir you also know i have been following you since i have searched your channel
As the adverb clause modifies the verb of the main clause and adverb phrase modifies the subject of the main clause then can we call it a participle phrase for example
After finishing the match,I will call you.
Is that a participle phrase too or just adverb phrase
And what is the differnce between after having finished the match and after finishing the match
One more question we say a participle phrase is used close to the modified noun so Ali passed the exam after he have studied well
Ali have passed the exam after having finished the exam so here it is not close to the noun it modifies what is the reason
Pleaseee sir
Participle phrases specifically start with participles, and they can modify the subject or the object.
Watch my lessons on all these topics one by one. You'll know what you need to know.
1) can't reduce. 2) Since earning huge profits, the company threw a part. 3) While being on the bus, we saw a man walking on water. 4) Though being the best player in the team, you can still get better. 5) Before getting thrown out of this house, you should buy a house. 6) After getting the job, I will pay the rent immediately.
Hello Ashish,
Would you mind making a videio about "Reduced Noun Clause"? I would love to watch that as well.
Noted!
Great lessons...!!!
Thank you, brother!
in this sentence-- i didnt buy that car a i was not carrying enough money--
by making this sentence into simple ' was' will be 'being'=
being not carried enoug money,i didnt buy a car .
is this sentence correct sir ,could you please let me know.
That's fine. You can also write it as the following:
Not carrying enough money, I didn't buy the car.
Is reduced adverb clause simple sentence or complex sentence ? Sir.
It's not a sentence. An adverb clause is a part of a sentence, not a sentence in itself.
@@EnglishWithAshish thank you for your reply
Nice explanation , Asish... Ashish, Can you tell me whether we can omit relative Adverb in adjective clause ?? Please help me by uploading a video on it.
We can't.
Hello Dear Ashish,
Do you have article on "reduced adverb clause" on your website? I was trying to find out, but couldn't.
Thank you
Hi, Farooq!
Not yet! Will on working on them soon.
Hello Mr Ashish
I have a question please. Is there reduced noun clause in English grammar?
Hello, Mehmood!
Some noun clauses can be reduced, but they can the original meaning a bit. I'll try making a lesson on it.
Hi my sir,
Could you please tell me?which one is correct? Big help
1) I want to leave from the company
2)I want to leave the company.
3)I want to leave from the Nike company .
4)I want to leave the Nike company.
Are these Sentences grammatically correct?
'Leave from' is not a correction expression.
@@EnglishWithAshish sir, then can we say these ways
@@EnglishWithAshish Hi my sir
Could you please tell me?which are the correct sentences help
1) I want to leave from the company
2)I want to leave the company.
3)I want to leave from the Nike company .
4)I want to leave the Nike company.
5)I left from school football team.
4)I left from the school captainship position.
5)I left from the WhatsApp group.
6)I left school football ball team
7)I left the WhatsApp group.
8)I left the school captainship position.
9)I left the school at the age of 12.
Are these Sentences grammatically correct? Are these Sentences give different meanings?
1. I want to help him as he needs help.
2. Earning huge profits, it threw a party.
3. While being on the bus, we saw a man walking on water ( who was waking on water became man walking on water, adjective phrase.
Not, "...a walking man on water" Coz on water modifies walking and so adjective near it's modifier.
Not, "... A walking on water man" Coz adjective should near the noun. Hope, my understanding is right.)
4. Though being the best player in the team, you can still get better.
5. Before getting thrown out of this house, you should buy a house.
6. After getting the job, I'll pay the rent immediately.
Should the reduced adverbial clause always comes at first?
Difference between Participle clause, reduced adjective cluse and reduced adverbial clause.
( is adverbial clause of place and adjective clause are same?)
Good work! 👏
Correction: Earning huge profits, the company threw a party.
Pay using debit card.,---sir kaise kare
1. I want to help him as he needs help.(can not be reduced as subects of two clauses are different)
2. Earning huge profits, it threw a party.
3. While being on the bus, we saw a man walking on water.
4.Though being the best player in the team, you can still get better.
5. Before being thrown out of this house, you should buy a house.
6.After getting the job, I will pay the rent immediately.
Great job! Happy ro see you answering them correctly. Just a correction:
Earning huge profits, the company is there. (The noun is there)
Thanks a lot sir.😊
My pleasure! 😊
Hello brother
Brother can you help me with passive continuous please reduce me a sentence of passive continuous brother.
Love from AFG 🇦🇫
Sure. Share with me the example.
could it also be: frustrated from his job, he started drinking?
Absolutely!
Sir what is prepositions object,noun object, can u explain object in a sentences
I have separate lessons on them on the channel. Please watch them!
They were kissing in the park as if nobody was there.
They - subject.
We're kissing - past continuous.
In the park - adverbial phrase of place, 🤔
As if nobody was there - sub ordinate adverbial clause of manner, 🤔 ( how were they kissing? Modifies the verb, 🤔)
I have read in a book that said the following.,
* Adverbial clause of time.
* Adverbial clause of place.
* Adverbial clause of manner.
* adverbial clause of cause(reason)
* adverbial clause of result.
* adverbial clause of contrast & concession.
* adverbial clause of comparison (degree)
* adverbial clause of condition.
🤔🤔🤔
Great! I've covered these in the lesson on adverb clause. 😊

It being very hot, I remain at home.
Is this sentence correct ? If not,what makes it wrong?🙏🙏🙏
The day being very hot, I remained at home.
@@EnglishWithAshish thanks a lot❤
@@EnglishWithAshish Is it a phrase for a clause?🙏🙏
It is a simple sentence starting with an absolute phrase.
I saw him when he was dancing
I saw him dancing
In this particular sentence the subject are different how has it been converted
The subject is the same. In the first, you are using an adverb clause to focus on the time. And in the second one, dancing indicates the state in which you saw him.
@@EnglishWithAshish action of seeing was done by me and the dancing was done by him then how could be both subjects are same.
Because you are my friend, I will let you drive my car.
This sentence can be reduced.
Being you my friend, I will let you drive m You my car.
Is it correct or wrong?
Sir please reply me.
No, that's not possible, Amol!
Ok sir.
